Irena Z. Tomažin: Another Crying Game

With the project Another Crying Game, Irena Z. Tomažin continues her long-standing exploration of the voice and its sonic and physical matter, which layers between the body, movement, and space, this time in the field of original songs.

Another Crying Game is a performance of avant-schlager songs that the artist has always stubbornly kept hidden, only pulling them out of her Pandora’s box on rare occasions. Some songs, their first ideas or themes, are over 19 years old. They span the time in which the artist has moulded her voice by kneading, writing, erasing and rewriting various fragments of lyrics that eventually became a song through persistent forgetting and revisiting. In addition to the live or recorded avant-schlager songs, she will also embody the characters and themes of the songs, which are in a way a play of (extreme) emotional states and fragments of stories from daily life – little dramas that capriciously shape the funny, bizarre and fateful ways we perceive ourselves, others and the world.
